PRE-SCHOOL CURRICULUM AT THE BRITISH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF KUALA LUMPUR

Our nurturing early years environment is the ideal place for our youngest children to learn, discover, and have fun. Your child will take part in a broad range of structured play activities and choose experiences they enjoy. This approach ensures each student hits key British and international pre-school milestones.

OUR BRITISH EARLY YEARS CURRICULUM

Our 2 to 5-year-olds follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. This is split into three age groups: Pre-nursery (age 2), Nursery (age 3), and Reception (age 4).


At this formative stage in their education at The British International School Kuala Lumpur (BSKL), our teachers will guide your child through seven EYFS learning and development areas.

LEARNING THROUGH PLAY

At our international pre-school, we encourage learning through play. We know children learn best when they’re happy, engaged, and motivated, which is why we offer a variety of opportunities that both captivate and challenge.

A typical day involves socialising, discussion, questions and answers, and reasoning, alongside storytelling, reading, simple maths, and rhyme. Your child will get moving in our shaded playgrounds, swimming pool, and pitches. They’ll also enjoy specialist music and modern languages lessons.
